sorry for the poor quality picture. I'm just too lazy to go down stairs to take a picture....


Tinted at Ziebart, charcoal 35%. To me, she looks much better. :)


Anyways.. according to the damn Illinois tinting laws, I can't tint front windows.

So.. I will tint front windows when I graduate and leave Illinois. :D

Here in Nova Scotia, its against the law for front windows to be doen aswell. My bussy just got pulled over and had to get it removed. $300 later. lol but for the most part, you only get hassled if the tint is too dark, i.e. you can't see the driver clearly

I love my tint. It's a great mod, and until you get it, you're not really sure why you should, but once you do it's da sh1t.

You should have just tinted it all at 35%. I'm curious, when was the last time you were stopped by a cop? You seem to be one of the more intelligent members of EXD and I can't see you doing something stupid while driving to entice the cops to pull you over, and at that time them busting you for the tint. Also, 35% looks lighter on the cars with tan interiors from certain angles that it's hard to tell sometimes whether it's factory or not.

But, the parts that are tinted looks good.

Yes.. after all.. I think it would be also ok with 20% tint.. But.. 35% is just ok :) I can't see inside with that tint. Besides, I didn't feel comfortable(too dark) with my mom's 20% tinted Sonata although she didn't feel comfortable(too bright) with my non-tinted XD.. haha..

Yeah.. I got a licence 5 years ago... and I've never been stopped by a cop.. for last 5 years. :) Maybe... I'm just too sensitive because I came from a country that cops stop cars for 'illegal fog lights', 'illegal headlight color', 'illegal tinting', .... even 'illegal external attachments.'(including those 'ricer' vynil .. :mad: ) and 'illegal body color'(you should stick with the stock colors...)

thanks god I don't have that problem with tints. (since I live in Panama City. Yes! Central America :) ). since this is a pretty darn hot country we kind of NEED tint. I have 5 % all around and and 15% in the front. you can't see sh*t inside with enough lighting you might see my hand on the streering wheel :diablo: but the tint is not black is titanium so it looks like your seeing inside but your actually watching just reflections. :D

After you drive a tinted car, you will never go back. Looks good.

Yeah.. I think I will never go back. Now I really want to tint the front windows.. One more reason to graduate asap :)


"5 % all around and and 15% in the front"? Wow.. that should be great! :D (although I won't be able to see enough at night with that tint....)
